You’ve seen him perform culinary magic. You’ve heard him savage sloppy chefs. Now YouTube is offering you the chance to cook along with Gordon Ramsay – without having to risk stepping into his kitchen.

The idea is that you hit the hob and follow Mr Ramsay’s instructions as he prepares three courses every Friday night, filming your attempts and uploading the results at the 4Food channel. Every week, the charged-up chef will review the best and, presumably, the most woeful efforts, dispensing wisdom in the process.

So, what are you waiting for? Assemble the ingredients, steel yourselves and set off on an odyssey of dining discovery with the man who puts the spat into spatula. If you’re taking on Ramsay’s recipe this weekend, you have until Monday evening to upload your footage.
